Sr. Bonança — Walls work, 2013, Rabo de Peixe, Portugal

Rabo de Peixe is the Azores' largest fishing port, a town of roughly 8,000 people whose livelihood has long depended on the sea. For Walk&Talk's third edition, Vhils chose Sr. Bonança, described as one of the fishing community's oldest members. Cutting his likeness into the town replaces the usual outside shorthand of poverty with an individual life of work at sea, bringing a resident whom Portugal's cultural map often overlooks into public view.
